Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: to find out most affected tasks related to balance in hearing impaired children. Objectives: To identify and compare the balance related tasks in hearing impaired children. To find out the most affected balance related tasks in hearing impaired children. To find the effect of gender and Age on balance in hearing impaired children. Procedure: 100 Subjects fulfilling the inclusive criteria were selected. Informed Consent was taken from respective principals to conduct the study. Subjects were assessed by pediatric balance scale (pbs). Mean and standard deviation was calculated. To find out the balance related tasks in hearing impaired children ANOVA test was done. For multiple comparison Tukey’s test was applied. Result: The most affected component of balance in hearing impaired children is component standing with one foot in front. The balance is minimum at the age of 7 years and maximum at age of 12 years. And there is no relation between balance and gender in hearing impaired children. Conclusion: The most affected component of balance in hearing impaired children is standing with one foot in front. Other components which are affected are standing on one foot, standing with eyes closed, turning 360 degrees and turning to look behind.
